Hey guys! It’s that time again! I’m back with my month segment,
Random Holiday Calender. This month, we’re in for the quintessential pumpkin
days, with all of the delicious sweets and spooks that come with Halloween! Who
doesn’t love the cooling air, the harvest moons, and the new fashion statements
that come with the first full month of autumn? Okay, okay. Not everyone shares
the enthusiasm, I understand.

Maybe you don’t like spooks and sweets for some reason. Maybe
the coming cold weather makes you feel like a hibernating bear. You know what? That’s
okay! There’s 30 more holidays to celebrate this October to keep you joyful!

As usual, I thought you might first like to know what fun
things you can celebrate all month long:

+Sarcastic Month – Yeah, because we need more of THAT going
around. (Insert eye roll here)

+National Vegetarian Month- Don’t be stingy. You get the rest
of the year to celebrate your meat!

+Cookie Month- Nom nom nom!

+Clergy Appreciation Month- Appreciate your religious
leaders, y’all!

+International Drum Month- Boom boom boom!

+LGBT History Month- If you’re interested, it’s a good month
to learn about it!

There’s a number of other more serious things to observe
this month pertaining to illness and other heavy things, but the point of this
blog is supposed to be how to have light-hearted fun this month. If you’re
interested in those, though, you can see what other ones are here!
